BEVERLY, Mass., April 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LocatePLUS Holdings Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: LPLHA - News, LPLHB - News, LPLHW - News), an industry-leading provider of business-to-business and business-to-government investigative solutions, announced today that it has incorporated new matching algorithms into its cellular telephone database in order to deliver more highly targeted search results. The algorithms are seamlessly integrated into the Company's advanced searching technology for its "reverse look-up" cellular telephone product.
When querying a telephone number, the newly integrated, matching algorithms more efficiently and effectively cross-reference and match existing Company data sets in order to correctly identify a person's current name and address.

LocatePLUS CEO Jon Latorella stated, "Demand for our cellular telephone and unpublished data sets continues to skyrocket based upon our ability to deliver on-demand access to information which was previously difficult and time consuming to obtain. LocatePLUS is now the only online national investigative database with over 95% of all unlisted and non-published phone numbers, including cellular telephone numbers. This proprietary data is matched with advanced search technology in order to deliver superior and highly targeted search results to our customers. We anticipate this product line to continue to drive fast-paced sales growth and could continue to increase our revenues by up to 20% over the next 12 months."
